muḍāriʿـُيَفْعُلُ·ـَيَفْعَلُmaṣdarحُضُورٌ حِضَارَةٌ

Core sense — he was, or became, present; he attended him; he dwelt in a settled regiongenerated

1.1he was, or became, present—حَضِرَ

.

This second past form has the same muḍāriʿ, not حَضَرَ as the K implies. Some disallow the form; it, with its muḍāriʿ, is an instance of mixed dialects, like فَضِلَ, and نَعِمَ, which IKoot says are the only instances of the kind.

Maṣdar حُضُورٌ, حَضَارَ, احتضر, and تحضّر.

The opposite of غَابَ, he came after having been absent.

1.1.1figurative · مجازthe time of prayer came, or arrived—حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ

The people of El-Medeeneh say حَضِرَت, but all say تَحْضُرُ, originally حَضَرَ وَقْتُ الصَّلَاةِ.

1.2he was present with him; he attended him; he came into his presence—حَضَرَهُ

Also حَضِرَهُ, with muḍāriʿ and maṣdars as above, and احتضرهُ and تحضّره.

a woman came into the presence of the judge—حَضَرَتِ القَاضِىَ ٱمْرَأَةٌ

Also: he was present at it, or in it, said of a place.

Also حَضِرَت and حَضِرَ, in which the ت is dropped because القاضى comes between the verb and امرأة; but the first is the most approved.

I was present at, or attended, the court of the judge—حَضَرْتُ مَجْلِسَ القَاضِى

.

he attended a lecture—حَضَرَ دَرْسًا
they stayed, or dwelt, by the waters—حَضَرُوا المِيَاهَ

See حَاضِرٌ.

Or: he was visited by death, or by the angels of death, meaning he died; or اُحْتُضِرَ means he died a youth.

Mentioned in the article أَجْزَرَ.

1.2.4figurative · مجازwe removed from such a water—حَضَرْنَا عَنْ مَآءِ كَذَا

2:180
كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذَا حَضَرَ أَحَدَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتُ إِن تَرَكَ خَيْرًا ٱلْوَصِيَّةُ لِلْوَٰلِدَيْنِ وَٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ ۖ حَقًّا عَلَى ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ

It is prescribed, when death approaches any of you, if he leave any goods that he make a bequest to parents and next of kin, according to reasonable usage; this is due from the Allah-fearing.

4:8
وَإِذَا حَضَرَ ٱلْقِسْمَةَ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ وَٱلْيَتَـٰمَىٰ وَٱلْمَسَـٰكِينُ فَٱرْزُقُوهُم مِّنْهُ وَقُولُوا۟ لَهُمْ قَوْلًا مَّعْرُوفًا

Of no effect is the repentance of those who continue to do evil, until death faces one of them, and he says, "Now have I repented indeed;" nor of those who die rejecting Faith: for them have We prepared a punishment most grievous.

Maṣdar as above. The contending or disputing is جَاثَيْتُهُ.

Maṣdar as above; and مُجَالَدَةٌ, one of the explanations given to مُحَاضَرَةٌ in the K, is the same as مُحَاضَرَةٌ as the maṣdar of the verb in this sense, unless it is a miscopying for مُجَادَلَةٌ, which I think not unlikely.

4:128
وَإِنِ ٱمْرَأَةٌ خَافَتْ مِنۢ بَعْلِهَا نُشُوزًا أَوْ إِعْرَاضًا فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِمَآ أَن يُصْلِحَا بَيْنَهُمَا صُلْحًا ۚ وَٱلصُّلْحُ خَيْرٌ ۗ وَأُحْضِرَتِ ٱلْأَنفُسُ ٱلشُّحَّ ۚ وَإِن تُحْسِنُوا۟ وَتَتَّقُوا۟ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا

If a wife fears cruelty or desertion on her husband's part, there is no blame on them if they arrange an amicable settlement between themselves; and such settlement is best; even though men's souls are swayed by greed. But if ye do good and practise self-restraint, Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do.

19:68
فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَحْشُرَنَّهُمْ وَٱلشَّيَـٰطِينَ ثُمَّ لَنُحْضِرَنَّهُمْ حَوْلَ جَهَنَّمَ جِثِيًّا

cover your vessel in the presence of the flies, so they do not taint it—غَطِّ إِنَآءَكَ بِحَضْرَةِ الذُّبَابِ

Or perhaps this is a miscopying for يَحْضُرْهُ الذُّبَابُ, meaning: if you do not, the flies will come to it and taint it.

1.1figurative · مجازthe exalted object of resort commands such a thing—الحَضْرَةُ العَالِيَةُ تَأْمُرُ بِكَذَا

Also used as a title, by writers of letters and the like, for any great man whom people are accustomed to attend; and sometimes of God, meaning the object of resort.

It is like الجَنَابُ, but is generally taken to imply greater respect. It is often prefixed to the name of the person to whom it is applied, or to a pronoun: حَضْرَةُ فُلَانٍ, the object of resort, such a one; and حَضْرَتُكَ, the object of resort, yourself.

1.2figurative · مجازI was near the house—كُنْتُ بِحَضْرَةِ الدَّارِ

Also the neighbourhood of a thing, and of a man. So according to two copies; but الرَّجُلِ there is clearly a miscopying for الرَّحْلِ, "of the house" or "abode": see what follows.

we were by a water—كُنَّا بِحَضْرَةِ مَآءٍ
near the water—بِحَضْرَةِ المَآءِ
1.3

Also the فِنَآء of a رَجُل.

The text has حَضْرَةُ الرَّجُلِ قُرْبُهُ وَفِنَاؤُهُ, but the right reading is clearly الرَّحْلِ, so that the second of the two meanings so explained is: the court, or yard, in front of, or extending from the sides of, a house or dwelling.

2figurative · مجازhe collected the material, the baked bricks and the like, meaning to build a house—جَمَعَ الحَضْرَةَ يُرِيدُ بِنَآءَ دَارٍ

And apparatus for building, such as baked bricks and gypsum plaster.

O ye who believe! When ye deal with each other, in transactions involving future obligations in a fixed period of time, reduce them to writing Let a scribe write down faithfully as between the parties: let not the scribe refuse to write: as Allah Has taught him, so let him write. Let him who incurs the liability dictate, but let him fear His Lord Allah, and not diminish aught of what he owes. If they party liable is mentally deficient, or weak, or unable Himself to dictate, Let his guardian dictate faithfully, and get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women, such as ye choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her. The witnesses should not refuse when they are called on (For evidence). Disdain not to reduce to writing (your contract) for a future period, whether it be small or big: it is juster in the sight of Allah, More suitable as evidence, and more convenient to prevent doubts among yourselves but if it be a transaction which ye carry out on the spot among yourselves, there is no blame on you if ye reduce it not to writing. But take witness whenever ye make a commercial contract; and let neither scribe nor witness suffer harm. If ye do (such harm), it would be wickedness in you. So fear Allah; For it is Good that teaches you. And Allah is well acquainted with all things. If ye are on a journey, and cannot find a scribe, a pledge with possession (may serve the purpose). And if one of you deposits a thing on trust with another, let the trustee (faithfully) discharge his trust, and let him Fear his Lord conceal not evidence; for whoever conceals it, - his heart is tainted with sin. And Allah knoweth all that ye do.

7:163
وَسْـَٔلْهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْقَرْيَةِ ٱلَّتِى كَانَتْ حَاضِرَةَ ٱلْبَحْرِ إِذْ يَعْدُونَ فِى ٱلسَّبْتِ إِذْ تَأْتِيهِمْ حِيتَانُهُمْ يَوْمَ سَبْتِهِمْ شُرَّعًا وَيَوْمَ لَا يَسْبِتُونَ ۙ لَا تَأْتِيهِمْ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَبْلُوهُم بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْسُقُونَ

Ask them concerning the town standing close by the sea. Behold! they transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath. For on the day of their Sabbath their fish did come to them, openly holding up their heads, but on the day they had no Sabbath, they came not: thus did We make a trial of them, for they were given to transgression.

Nounمَحْضَرٌ7 senses · 4 main

Core sense — a place where people are present; a place of return to water; a judge's recordgenerated

1

A place where people are present, or assembled. See also حَضْرَةٌ.

1.1

A place to which people return to the waters, or to the constant sources of water; the opposite of مَبْدً ى. So in the article بدو.

A place to which one goes in search of herbage is called مُنْتَجَعٌ, and every such place is called مَبْدً ى, of which the plural is مَبَادٍ.

Watering-places are called مَحَاضِرُ, plural of مَحْضَرٌ, because men gather and are present at them. See also حَاضِرٌ, last meaning.

2

People present, or assembled; an assembly: so in the present day.

2.1

A people dwelling, or staying, by waters. Plural مَحَاضِرُ. See حَاضِرٌ.

3

The record of a qāḍī, or judge, in which his sentence is written, the same as سِجِلٌّ; or what is written when one person brings a charge against another. When the other makes his reply and proves it, the writing is called تَوْفِيقٌ, and when judgment is given, سِجِلٌ.

MF thinks this a recent conventional term, but it has been heard from the Arabs of the classical times, and ISd and others mention it.

3.1

Also a signature written at the end of the record of the signatures of the witnesses, in testimony that what precedes is true. In the CK, وَاقَعَةٍ is wrongly put for وَاقِعَةِ, and خُطُوطُ for خُطُوطِ. But this is a recent conventional use.
